Will Nintendo ever buy back Rare? Will Microsoft sell them back?

A year ago I made a blog ranting about Rareware being officially dead, and since then, I couldn't get them off my mind. I've literally been losing lots of sleep of Rare and to this day, my cousin and I are still waiting for Rare to come back. Yes, I know remakes, and reboots of some of Rare's games are made like DKCR and KI for Xbox ONE. And I know some devs are still trying to make games that are heavenly inspired by Rare's platformers such as a hat in time. And yes I do know lots of Rare's former developers are gone now but still I believe Rare still has it in them. In fact, then had it in them even when they were brought by Microsoft. Let me tell you a little story about locking other people's imagination.

Back then Rare had around 7 next-gen titles they were working on for Gamecube. Some were sequels like Banjo Threeie, some were spinoffs like DK racing. Others were just entirely new franchises. Once Microsoft brought them they were forced to cancel some projects because of the lost of some developers and licencing issues. Nintendo couldn't speak of games like 007, Perfect Dark, and even DK64 since they were made and owned by Rare.

So Rare cancelled half of the games they were working on because of all of that. But the new IPs...

yeah we all knew how that turned out.

And this video.. just explains what's microsoft is really doing with Rare's talent.

Anyway, fast forward to 2013. Microsoft takes away KI and gives it to another company to work on it, Gears for Breakfast is taking inspiration from B&K to make a hat in time, and a bunch of TF2 players are bitching about the N64 and different Rareware games like Conker.

The legendary Miyamoto and Iwata made a IGN account to help promote the Wii U last year and once they announced that on there Twitter I went balls off the freakin walls with questions!!! I asked questions about Smash Bros, Enternal Darkness, Wave Race and so much more!!! And I kid you not most of the questions were replied. But I did noticed something on Miyamoto's wall. He alway made status updates about Conker BFD developers, made a few B&K references, and once talked about Rare's idea of a Conker's Bad fur days 2 development. Trust me he made it as shuttle as heck too so he only talked about it once in a while. Few days later rumors starting flying about Nintendo trying to buy back Rare for Retro to make a new installment of Banjo. I also heard that Microsoft is planning on selling Rareware back to nintendo or just put some IPs up for sale. My reaction was

Also with this Sakurai will now finally have the ability to add Rare characters to the roster for smash, Nintendo can finally add DK64 to virtual console along with other Rare games, and much much more!!! EXCITEMENT INDEED!!!!!!!! But because nintendo doesn't have much money to get back Rare from microsoft, this plan may take a very long time. The lack of money to buy back rare is because of the poor Wii U sales, the 3DS' beginning, and the clumsy haitus in the mid 2012. Also paying Platinum games and SEGA for their exclusives also hurt the issue a bit. Will nintendo pull through? will Microsoft stop being a-holes and just give Rare back? Will I ever get a Wii U in time? Only time will tell.

(But seriously, let's help and support nintendo by buying Wii Us and 3DS. Dont care if you have one or not, give them out as gifts for all I care. Just please support them. Do you another Kinect Sports.or do you a brand new Banjo and Kazooie!)
